Abstract

A cable drive device for moving a vehicle component, such as a vehicle sliding roof, includes a cable that is guided in an endless loop and whose ends of which are wound up on two winding drums that are driven in the same direction. An intermediate section of the cable is looped around a further winding drum, thereby dividing the cable into two branches having entrainment elements provided thereon for engaging the vehicle component to be moved.
